Kane and Will Make Jiu Jitsu Bows

Two of T45 Jiu Jitsu Isle of Man’s students have made their competition debut at Grappling Industries Liverpool.

Both Kane Stott and Will Christian have been training for little over six months and were keen to put their skills to the test.

In the adult division, Kane secured impressive first round wins in both Gi and No Gi against some very tough competitors. The round robin format meant that he would go on to fight each person in his bracket for both divisions and achieving a silver medal in the Gi division for his efforts. A large bracket and some extremely tough opponents saw him just miss a podium finish for No Gi despite some fantastic displays of Jiu Jitsu.

In the kids and Juvenile division, Will won each of his fights securing a large points lead before finishing each and every fight by submission. The skill and dominant performance were not only reflected in the gold medals achieved in both the Gi and No Gi divisions but also meant that T45 Jiu Jitsu ranked 3rd out of 11 academies in the kids and juvenile division, earning them the bronze team trophy despite Will being the only representative of T45 Jiu Jitsu in that category.

Catherine Moor and Jordan Christian accompanied the two athletes to coach them and said: ‘We are are so proud of both Kane and Will not just for their incredible results but the display of sportsmanship and camaraderie from them was second to none.’
